Abe was also a watchman at a cranberry silo for forty years. He spent most of this time living in a house he won on a crooked s game show until he sold it to help Homer buy a house for his family.

Abe moved in with the family, but was sent to a retirement home some three weeks later. He was briefly married to Amber , the same woman Homer married on a Vegas binge.

He was married for several years to Mona, who became entranced with the hippie lifestyle after watching Joe Namath on TV. She became a fugitive from justice after she abetted in the sabotage of a biological weapons research lab owned by Montgomery Burns.

Abe had no interest in this, instead focusing on the TV. Abe tells a six-year-old Homer Mona died while Homer was at the movies. Abe would point out her supposed grave which actually belonged to Walt Whitman every time the family drove past it.

However, after Homer went to the Springfield Hall of Records to prove he was still alive after faking his death in order to avoid having work on Saturday , he learnt from the record that his mother was still alive.

Grampa Simpson is an old, grizzled, periodically incontinent and quite senile man, who lives in the Springfield Retirement Castle ; a sad, lonely place filled with demented, crippled and depressed old people a sign near the entrance says "Thank you for not discussing the outside world".

Abe also informs Lisa residents are not allowed to read newspapers because "they angry up the blood". His closest friend appears to be Jasper , a fellow Retirement Castle resident.

He spends a good deal of his time writing letters of complaint on his old-fashioned typewriter. He once wrote to the President, complaining there were too many states, and requesting they get rid of three of them simultaneously insisting he was "not a crackpot".

He also wrote to "the sickos at Modern Bride Magazine " about his disgust at not seeing "one wrinkled face" or "a single toothless grin" in the publication.

He also owns a star American flag, because of his undefined hatred of the state of Missouri: He also is soundly rooted in his antiquated ways: He seems to believe Matlock is a real person, suggesting they call him in to solve real-life crimes: Once, reflecting on his lifetime, he lamented it as terribly boring and full of unruly teenagers, but decided it was alright because "we did have two shows with Andy Griffith.

Presumably his senility caused him to think he really did have these experiences; alternatively he could have simply been lying about them.

However at least one of his stories was true; the one about the Flying Hellfish. The Simpsons are eating dinner and Lisa finds out her whole family are vampires, including Grandpa, who pretends to be the head vampire when in reality Marge is.

He first appears in the level Mob Rules as one of the people Marge can bring into her mob to protest the sale of the Grand Theft Scratchy video game to minors.

His younger self appears in Medal of Homer to give Bart and Homer orders as for what to do in each of its three missions.

Groening famously named the five main Simpson characters after members of his own family: Claiming it was a bit too obvious to name a character after himself, he chose the name "Bart," an anagram of brat.
